Be it known that I, KNUTE, SToRAKnR, a subject of the King of Norway, '(having declared his intention of becoming a citizen of Chester, county of Bronx, and State of New ork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scribers Compasses, of

i is a specification.

which the following compasses used mainly by'bullders, carpenJ ters and other artisans for the purpose of layingout and marking work, to be done, andmy mainobject is to adapt the device to the use of pencils and points of any length,' the invention consisting in the specific construction described and claimed herein, In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 representelevations of the opposite sides ofmy improved scribing compass with a long marking pencil in'position; Fig. 3, front elevation, with the pencil broken away inpart. I a n e The legs a, and p7), of'the compass are pivpencil 72, may be positioned to extend for the greater portion of the length of the leg and beyond the clamp e.

A steel point may obviously be substituted in lieu of the pencil if so desired to be used for marking purposes &c. Q By my construction and arrangement of parts I am enabled to utilize pencils or portions thereof of any length.

What I'claim as my invention to secure byLetters Patent is,

and desire designated, a segmental arm attached to one leg and extending laterally across one side of the other leg, a loop-screw engaging said segmental arm and extending through said other leg, a nut engaging and bearing against said other leg, the latter formed with a slit pencil tube on its outer side, and a nut sleeve engaging with said pencil tube, whereby a pencil may be used of a length sufficient to extend beyond the segmental clamping device as and for the purpose set forth. I
